Geez... I think this is covered by my post a few minutes back about Patch Tuesday, but if it draws some good comments I’ll ping the list later. Thanks for posting and pinging!

This whole “Secure Boot” thing bothers me. Two-edged sword if ever there was one.

Yeah. I saw your post directly after I reloaded the index page after I started this thread. You must have posted your thread while I was still formatting this one, thus the overlap.

By all means, let us see what comments this one draws by its specificity and combined with yours we might have some good observations come about because of them both.

Cheers!

Oh, and I agree about the whole “UEFI” concept currently being implemented. I can all too easily see a day come about when the u-soft people have engineered it to the point where if you are not running a validated up-to-date version of Windows(tm) (or are running Linux, BSD, OS/2, etc) the machine will not boot or will hang from the beginning.

Not such a difficult concept to consider when you contemplate the maneuvers the ‘doze people have been foisting upon unsuspecting users to force them to “upgrade” to win10 like it or not.
